00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.240
Kids came and they started learning.
2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:04.680
It went so well
3
00:00:05.710 --> 00:00:10.710
that they approached the state about expanding it
4
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:16.000
to where other children, other Latin American children.
5
00:00:16.130 --> 00:00:19.120
Because by that time there were more people coming in
6
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:20.270
from other countries
7
00:00:21.150 --> 00:00:24.850
to where children that couldn't speak English could learn it
8
00:00:24.850 --> 00:00:26.410
through this method.
9
00:00:26.410 --> 00:00:29.503
And they called it the little school of 400.
10
00:00:31.100 --> 00:00:33.500
And she is credited
11
00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:36.870
with having been the ones that started really
12
00:00:36.870 --> 00:00:41.570
started the English as a second language program.
13
00:00:41.570 --> 00:00:46.380
And it was highlighted in the Saturday evening post
14
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:51.883
and called Texas takes care of her Latinos.
15
00:00:53.530 --> 00:00:56.220
And she was tremendous.
16
00:00:56.220 --> 00:00:59.483
All those teachers were just wonderful.
17
00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:04.570
Awesome. Switch gears a little bit.
18
00:01:04.570 --> 00:01:07.330
I want to ask you, you know
19
00:01:07.330 --> 00:01:10.747
you eventually go to Houston ah to live there
20
00:01:10.747 --> 00:01:13.500
and that was due to a hurricane, right?
21
00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:15.340
They (mumbling) hurricane Flora?
22
00:01:15.340 --> 00:01:16.390
What year was that?
23
00:01:16.390 --> 00:01:17.773
1961.
24
00:01:20.029 --> 00:01:24.160
It destroyed hum the subdivision that I was living in
25
00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:26.460
and that
26
00:01:26.460 --> 00:01:28.280
What sub division was that ending?
27
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.170
Brown wood subdivision
28
00:01:31.410 --> 00:01:33.710
and incidentally,
29
00:01:33.710 --> 00:01:35.430
that's the reason we have
30
00:01:38.550 --> 00:01:42.740
that's the reason we have flood insurance and FEMA
31
00:01:44.470 --> 00:01:48.263
because, we lost our home and I accepted it.
32
00:01:49.890 --> 00:01:53.403
And, I knew that God was going to help us
33
00:01:53.403 --> 00:01:55.100
and that we're going to be fine.
34
00:01:55.100 --> 00:01:56.660
And we were.
35
00:01:56.660 --> 00:01:57.960
Ah
36
00:01:57.960 --> 00:01:58.793
But,
37
00:02:01.330 --> 00:02:04.680
a year later, just about a year later
38
00:02:06.350 --> 00:02:10.020
the insurance on our home
39
00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:14.303
was needed to be renewed.
40
00:02:15.490 --> 00:02:16.323
We
41
00:02:18.420 --> 00:02:22.543
We had an, a VA loan on our home.
42
00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:28.050
We had bought all of our furniture, everything cash.
43
00:02:28.050 --> 00:02:30.220
So we didn't over that.
44
00:02:30.220 --> 00:02:32.600
We did, oh, our home.
45
00:02:32.600 --> 00:02:34.540
We had a mortgage,
46
00:02:34.540 --> 00:02:37.840
and the (long pause)
47
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.083
the home was gone!
48
00:02:41.866 --> 00:02:45.970
and the mortgage company contacted me and said
49
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.190
you have to pay an insurance premium.
50
00:02:50.190 --> 00:02:52.420
Your insurance is becoming due.
51
00:02:52.420 --> 00:02:55.053
We kept on paying for the house.
52
00:02:56.200 --> 00:02:58.798
My husband said, no home no mortgage.
53
00:02:58.798 --> 00:03:00.973
No. I said, no, that's not right.
54
00:03:02.309 --> 00:03:04.450
I said, they lent us some money in good faith.
55
00:03:04.450 --> 00:03:07.730
And it's not their fault that we lost our home.
56
00:03:07.730 --> 00:03:10.940
And we, I insisted on that.
57
00:03:10.940 --> 00:03:13.163
We kept on paying er for our home.
58
00:03:14.050 --> 00:03:18.470
But when they said we had to pay insurance, I said, no.
59
00:03:18.470 --> 00:03:19.820
I said, there is no home.
60
00:03:19.820 --> 00:03:21.453
They denied our claim.
61
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.110
They did not pay our claim.
62
00:03:25.110 --> 00:03:26.330
Why should we re
63
00:03:26.330 --> 00:03:27.823
why should we renew?
64
00:03:29.241 --> 00:03:31.100
And they said, well, you don't understand.
65
00:03:31.100 --> 00:03:32.140
It's a part of the mortgage.
66
00:03:32.140 --> 00:03:34.110
I said, I understand quite well.
67
00:03:34.110 --> 00:03:35.930
I said, this is my field.
68
00:03:35.930 --> 00:03:37.560
And I'm very much aware of it.
69
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:41.150
I said, but they refused to pay the claim.
70
00:03:41.150 --> 00:03:43.670
And I don't know why I should pay them a premium.
71
00:03:43.670 --> 00:03:45.980
Well, you must because that's the terms
72
00:03:45.980 --> 00:03:48.573
of the mortgage and so-and-so so-and-so.
73
00:03:50.310 --> 00:03:53.743
I became very upset about that.
74
00:03:55.850 --> 00:04:00.850
And, my husband said later, I became like a woman possessed
75
00:04:04.239 --> 00:04:07.339
but I contacted Austin
76
00:04:07.339 --> 00:04:08.800
and I told them
77
00:04:09.672 --> 00:04:10.533
what was happening.
78
00:04:11.499 --> 00:04:13.720
And I said, it's not right.
79
00:04:13.720 --> 00:04:17.223
That our claims are being denied by most companies.
80
00:04:18.310 --> 00:04:21.570
And I said, what can you do to help us?
81
00:04:21.570 --> 00:04:26.570
Oh, are you willing to come and testify before us?
82
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:28.970
I said, yes, I am.
83
00:04:28.970 --> 00:04:31.250
I said, but it's not just my husband.
84
00:04:31.250 --> 00:04:34.040
And I, I said, it's a whole community.
85
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.350
I said, there is suffering in.
86
00:04:35.350 --> 00:04:39.050
And I said, and you need to hear them say, well
87
00:04:39.050 --> 00:04:41.284
would they come to a meeting?
88
00:04:41.284 --> 00:04:42.912
I said, yes, they would.
89
00:04:42.912 --> 00:04:44.271
We found a place.
90
00:04:44.271 --> 00:04:45.660
And, I mean, everybody came, oh
91
00:04:45.660 --> 00:04:47.520
they were gonna help us.
92
00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:48.723
They didn't do a thing.
93
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:51.760
I started riding to Washington
94
00:04:51.760 --> 00:04:55.050
to the congressmen and senators.
95
00:04:55.050 --> 00:04:57.272
I would always send a copy
96
00:04:57.272 --> 00:04:59.960
to the president who never responded.
97
00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:04.960
And I kept writing and writing and writing.
98
00:05:05.090 --> 00:05:09.250
My premise was that there should be a fund to
99
00:05:10.810 --> 00:05:14.130
which we could all pay our money
100
00:05:14.130 --> 00:05:18.423
but this fund should be handled by the federal government.
101
00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:24.280
So that, if there was a disaster, whether it was a hurricane
102
00:05:26.150 --> 00:05:30.750
an earthquake or what so long as it was a natural disaster
103
00:05:32.070 --> 00:05:35.510
let us make our claims to that fund
104
00:05:35.510 --> 00:05:39.340
and let the government be responsible for handling it
105
00:05:39.340 --> 00:05:42.163
so that we would not go through this again.
106
00:05:43.110 --> 00:05:46.670
And, that was my premise.
107
00:05:46.670 --> 00:05:47.503
And
108
00:05:50.705 --> 00:05:52.080
I wrote to the
109
00:05:53.010 --> 00:05:54.510
director of IRS
110
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:57.340
and I told him
111
00:05:57.340 --> 00:06:01.150
there are some of us we're paying a mortgage
112
00:06:02.370 --> 00:06:05.480
and we're also paying a rent
113
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:11.420
and one or the other should be deducted, deductible when
114
00:06:12.882 --> 00:06:14.840
you have a problem like this.
115
00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:18.086
And, and of course
116
00:06:18.086 --> 00:06:20.600
I told that to the people in Washington too.
117
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:23.760
And so I kept on riding
118
00:06:23.760 --> 00:06:25.750
and riding and riding, riding, and I,
119
00:06:30.848 --> 00:06:31.681
we had a VA loan.
120
00:06:33.960 --> 00:06:37.314
So I wrote to the VA commissioner and I told him, and I kept
121
00:06:37.314 --> 00:06:39.964
on for about, I don't know, maybe nearly eight years.
122
00:06:41.250 --> 00:06:42.913
And one day my husband called me.
123
00:06:43.997 --> 00:06:46.520
And he said, you got a bunch of letters from Washington!
124
00:06:46.520 --> 00:06:49.550
From time to time, I'd get a letter thanking me
125
00:06:49.550 --> 00:06:53.803
thanking me for my, for writing them and such and nothing.
126
00:06:56.084 --> 00:06:58.470
You say, you got a bunch of letters.
127
00:06:58.470 --> 00:07:00.690
And I said, open one, read it.
128
00:07:00.690 --> 00:07:02.400
He said, oh no.
129
00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:05.020
He said, you know, I have been disgusted with that.
130
00:07:05.020 --> 00:07:06.860
I'm not going to be reading it.
131
00:07:06.860 --> 00:07:08.070
I said, okay.
132
00:07:08.070 --> 00:07:09.493
I waited till I got home.
133
00:07:10.900 --> 00:07:15.900
And it was telling me, thanking me for my perseverance
134
00:07:17.150 --> 00:07:21.640
and telling me that they had been working on this and
135
00:07:21.640 --> 00:07:25.147
that they had now developed a program whereby
136
00:07:27.090 --> 00:07:31.890
there would be a fun payable to the government
137
00:07:31.890 --> 00:07:34.680
to where the government would handle this money
138
00:07:35.770 --> 00:07:37.820
and that they knew it
139
00:07:37.820 --> 00:07:41.790
wasn't going to help my husband and me, but
140
00:07:41.790 --> 00:07:46.790
that with this also, that it was comprehensive in nature.
141
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.970
And that is being comprehensive in nature
142
00:07:51.970 --> 00:07:56.970
included homes for people to live-in temporarily.
143
00:07:57.320 --> 00:08:00.630
And they said, we have not named it yet
144
00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:04.493
but when we announced it, you will recognize it.
145
00:08:05.890 --> 00:08:10.600
And when they announced it, it was flood insurance and FEMA.
146
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:14.190
And under FEMA, of course, you get the mobile home to
147
00:08:14.190 --> 00:08:16.360
live-in until you
148
00:08:17.450 --> 00:08:18.950
get situated,
149
00:08:18.950 --> 00:08:20.506
you know
150
00:08:20.506 --> 00:08:23.230
but that's how that came to pass.
151
00:08:23.230 --> 00:08:25.353
And then after that,
152
00:08:28.320 --> 00:08:29.153
I got a letter
153
00:08:30.280 --> 00:08:32.950
from the VA commissioner telling me that
154
00:08:36.030 --> 00:08:37.010
they had decided
155
00:08:37.010 --> 00:08:39.710
they were going to blackball the company that I
156
00:08:42.890 --> 00:08:44.923
that had denied our claim
157
00:08:44.923 --> 00:08:48.340
that they were going to blackball it around the country.
158
00:08:48.340 --> 00:08:53.333
And that when VA blackballed a company,
159
00:08:54.220 --> 00:08:55.740
FHA would filled a suit
160
00:08:56.650 --> 00:09:00.610
which I didn't know and vice versa.
161
00:09:00.610 --> 00:09:02.913
So I thought, yay!
162
00:09:02.913 --> 00:09:04.050
(Chuckles)
163
00:09:04.050 --> 00:09:07.530
So I told my husband. He says, well
164
00:09:07.530 --> 00:09:09.856
I guess it was worth it.
165
00:09:09.856 --> 00:09:12.780
I said, yeah, well, it was, but then
166
00:09:14.490 --> 00:09:17.473
about two or three months later,
167
00:09:19.310 --> 00:09:23.050
I usually stay in my office at noon
168
00:09:23.050 --> 00:09:27.530
when everybody went out to lunch in case there was any kind
169
00:09:27.530 --> 00:09:29.330
of a need in emergence or something.
170
00:09:31.947 --> 00:09:33.900
And, and one day the telephone operator
171
00:09:33.900 --> 00:09:36.370
the receptionist called me and said
172
00:09:36.370 --> 00:09:40.623
there's a man here who needs a deed immediately.
173
00:09:43.805 --> 00:09:44.673
And he said, he needs it right away.
174
00:09:45.946 --> 00:09:47.063
And I said, well, I said, I'll be there in a minute.
175
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.010
So I came out and he said, ma'am.
176
00:09:50.010 --> 00:09:50.843
He said,
177
00:09:53.210 --> 00:09:54.580
I need it deed drawn.
178
00:09:54.580 --> 00:09:57.260
But I need it drawn immediately.
179
00:09:57.260 --> 00:09:59.310
He said, and the...
180
00:10:00.260 --> 00:10:02.700
I need to have it today.
181
00:10:02.700 --> 00:10:05.730
I said, have you opened title with us before?
182
00:10:05.730 --> 00:10:07.760
He said, no.
183
00:10:07.760 --> 00:10:10.650
He said, I have not, but I need it.
184
00:10:10.650 --> 00:10:12.280
And I said, come in my office.
185
00:10:12.280 --> 00:10:16.230
And I took him into my office and I asked him, I said
186
00:10:17.580 --> 00:10:20.580
you have a need to get this done immediately?
187
00:10:20.580 --> 00:10:24.370
I said, are you not going to offer title insurance?
188
00:10:24.370 --> 00:10:26.410
He said, no, what I'm doing?
189
00:10:26.410 --> 00:10:28.060
He said, I'll be honest with you.
190
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:33.650
I'm transferring the title to our property to a relative
191
00:10:33.650 --> 00:10:36.233
of mine because I have to leave town immediately.
192
00:10:37.070 --> 00:10:39.440
I'm moving to Arizona.
193
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.980
I have lost my job here.
194
00:10:41.980 --> 00:10:45.190
I said, oh, I said, I'm sorry.
195
00:10:45.190 --> 00:10:47.820
And I said, all right.
196
00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:50.796
I said, let's give you the information.
197
00:10:50.796 --> 00:10:53.680
And I said, and what is the nature of your business?
198
00:10:53.680 --> 00:10:57.660
He said, I'm an insurance adjuster.
199
00:10:57.660 --> 00:11:02.170
And I said, oh, so when I asked him his name
200
00:11:02.170 --> 00:11:05.493
it was the adjuster that had denied our claim.
201
00:11:06.980 --> 00:11:08.440
I had not dealt with him.
202
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:11.900
My husband had, because there was no need
203
00:11:11.900 --> 00:11:14.810
in my coming from Houston to that from my husband.
204
00:11:14.810 --> 00:11:17.030
So I just kept calm.
205
00:11:17.030 --> 00:11:19.223
I got the name, got the information.
206
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:21.190
I said, okay
207
00:11:21.190 --> 00:11:23.140
if you go to the reception room, I said
208
00:11:24.567 --> 00:11:25.400
I'll take care of this.
209
00:11:26.295 --> 00:11:28.550
I went across the hall to our law firm and I said
210
00:11:28.550 --> 00:11:30.280
I need a deed right away.
211
00:11:30.280 --> 00:11:33.000
And the..Oh, okay.
212
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:33.833
Are they coming?
213
00:11:34.816 --> 00:11:35.649
I said, he is here now.
214
00:11:35.649 --> 00:11:38.679
I said, when you finish it, I said, you bring it to me.
215
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:40.780
Oh, you don't want
216
00:11:42.313 --> 00:11:43.230
you don't want the attorneys to take it.
217
00:11:43.230 --> 00:11:44.840
I said no!
218
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:46.370
I said, bring it to me.
219
00:11:46.370 --> 00:11:49.690
I'm going to take the gentleman's acknowledgement.
220
00:11:49.690 --> 00:11:51.610
She said, all right.
221
00:11:51.610 --> 00:11:52.620
She was surprised.
222
00:11:52.620 --> 00:11:53.520
Cause I never did.
223
00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:56.690
She brought me the deed.
224
00:11:56.690 --> 00:11:57.712
I took his acknowledgement
225
00:11:57.712 --> 00:12:01.116
when he left.
226
00:12:01.116 --> 00:12:01.949
I said, thank you Lord!
227
00:12:01.949 --> 00:12:04.449
(Happy Laugh)
228
00:12:05.300 --> 00:12:07.290
And then, I called my husband and I said
229
00:12:07.290 --> 00:12:09.921
you'll never guess what happened!
230
00:12:09.921 --> 00:12:12.270
(Happy laugh)
231
00:12:12.270 --> 00:12:13.593
He couldn't believe it.
232
00:12:14.850 --> 00:12:18.270
I said, I took this guys, acknowledgement
233
00:12:19.749 --> 00:12:21.980
for him to get the heck out of Texas.
234
00:12:21.980 --> 00:12:23.146
I said,
235
00:12:23.146 --> 00:12:25.813
I just feel for the people in Arizona.
236
00:12:25.813 --> 00:12:29.405
(continuous laughing)
237
00:12:29.405 --> 00:12:32.890
But, anyway, those things happen, but it
238
00:12:32.890 --> 00:12:37.377
it was a bad experience, but it, it ended up okay.
239
00:12:37.377 --> 00:12:39.227
(indistinct) helping a lot of people.
240
00:12:40.290 --> 00:12:41.123
You know
241
00:12:41.123 --> 00:12:43.940
You mentioned that your husband worked for NASA?
242
00:12:43.940 --> 00:12:44.773
(lady assent)
243
00:12:44.773 --> 00:12:45.989
What did he play at NASA?
244
00:12:45.989 --> 00:12:49.410
(interviewer mumbling)
245
00:12:49.410 --> 00:12:53.070
He was, oh, I, I was always so busy.
246
00:12:53.070 --> 00:12:58.070
I didn't really know what his thing was.
247
00:12:58.413 --> 00:13:01.190
I, it sounds incredible, but..
248
00:13:01.190 --> 00:13:02.060
I ah...
249
00:13:03.350 --> 00:13:04.440
I worked long hours.
250
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.656
I was very busy.
251
00:13:06.656 --> 00:13:07.911
What did you do?
252
00:13:07.911 --> 00:13:08.790
What was your work occupation?
253
00:13:08.790 --> 00:13:11.324
I worked for a title company
254
00:13:11.324 --> 00:13:12.460
and the
255
00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:13.293
The a...
256
00:13:16.130 --> 00:13:16.963
But,
257
00:13:16.963 --> 00:13:18.683
I felt in love with,
258
00:13:19.925 --> 00:13:21.923
with that field.
259
00:13:23.108 --> 00:13:25.183
I went to work, not knowing anything about it.
260
00:13:26.174 --> 00:13:27.634
I just wanted a job.
261
00:13:27.634 --> 00:13:29.160
And
262
00:13:29.160 --> 00:13:34.160
I went to work working with abstracts and I, I learned
263
00:13:34.870 --> 00:13:38.700
I loved it so much that I decided I was going to learn it
264
00:13:38.700 --> 00:13:41.650
from the ground all the way up.
265
00:13:41.650 --> 00:13:43.050
And I did it.
266
00:13:43.050 --> 00:13:43.883
And...
267
00:13:48.115 --> 00:13:49.640
so, and then I took some law courses
268
00:13:49.640 --> 00:13:54.400
because I wanted to be able to handle contracts
269
00:13:54.400 --> 00:13:56.670
and instruments and know everything.
270
00:13:56.670 --> 00:14:01.670
And then after that, I took some real estate courses
271
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.600
because I wanted to know contracts very well and everything
272
00:14:09.388 --> 00:14:12.880
but I was always working and studying and such.
273
00:14:12.880 --> 00:14:15.510
So I didn't pay that much attention
274
00:14:15.510 --> 00:14:17.020
to what my husband was doing
275
00:14:18.422 --> 00:14:20.973
but he worked at NASA and retired from there.
276
00:14:22.793 --> 00:14:25.893
And then eventually
277
00:14:25.893 --> 00:14:27.280
I
278
00:14:28.140 --> 00:14:31.933
my employer became seriously ill.
279
00:14:32.955 --> 00:14:37.110
And by that time he had a mortgage company
280
00:14:37.110 --> 00:14:41.770
and two building companies and owned a lot of real estate.
281
00:14:41.770 --> 00:14:44.233
A lot of acreage, a lot of homes.
282
00:14:48.208 --> 00:14:50.060
Had a lot of stocks, bonds.
283
00:14:50.060 --> 00:14:54.177
It was a very apartment complex, isn't it?
284
00:14:54.177 --> 00:14:58.083
It was a very, it was a buried estate and
285
00:15:01.866 --> 00:15:03.153
I became executor of his estate.
286
00:15:05.123 --> 00:15:08.440
And, and then his son also named me secretary of his state
287
00:15:10.149 --> 00:15:11.560
but I had to take over the business.
288
00:15:11.560 --> 00:15:14.183
So I never had much of a,
289
00:15:18.064 --> 00:15:19.560
of a time to dwell
290
00:15:19.560 --> 00:15:21.490
what he was doing, but I know he
291
00:15:22.685 --> 00:15:25.760
he worked over there and retired from there.
292
00:15:25.760 --> 00:15:27.110
And
293
00:15:27.110 --> 00:15:28.940
Eventually you would get involved
294
00:15:30.392 --> 00:15:33.680
in the historical preservation efforts concerning
295
00:15:33.680 --> 00:15:35.450
the (indistinct) school
296
00:15:35.450 --> 00:15:36.283
Of what?
297
00:15:36.283 --> 00:15:38.820
Concerning this you would have been to get involved
298
00:15:41.485 --> 00:15:42.670
in the creation of a historical marker.
299
00:15:42.670 --> 00:15:44.810
What year did you get involved in that effort?
300
00:15:44.810 --> 00:15:48.314
And what else did you do to make that happen?
301
00:15:48.314 --> 00:15:53.210
We became, it was my niece's idea.
302
00:15:53.210 --> 00:15:54.863
My niece Eugenia Rios.
303
00:15:56.100 --> 00:15:57.973
It was her idea to do it.
304
00:15:59.568 --> 00:16:02.840
And she asked me if I would help.
305
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:05.590
And I said, yeah, I'll help you with whatever you want.
306
00:16:08.429 --> 00:16:11.963
And I didn't realize it was going to be that involved in.
307
00:16:16.255 --> 00:16:18.570
And she said, it costs a lot
308
00:16:18.570 --> 00:16:21.430
of money for the dedication and everything.
309
00:16:21.430 --> 00:16:23.413
So I think we should have a committee.
310
00:16:24.696 --> 00:16:25.529
I said, okay, let's get her committed.
311
00:16:25.529 --> 00:16:26.386
So we formed a committee.
312
00:16:26.386 --> 00:16:28.293
Real nice people.
313
00:16:30.102 --> 00:16:31.468
And...
314
00:16:31.468 --> 00:16:33.480
We, um...
315
00:16:36.876 --> 00:16:39.330
I believe that we started in about
316
00:16:41.390 --> 00:16:43.170
2014
317
00:16:45.334 --> 00:16:48.253
but I had a lot of things going.
318
00:16:49.513 --> 00:16:51.913
And a lot of times I couldn't couldn't help.
319
00:16:52.791 --> 00:16:55.403
So we didn't, we, you know, didn't do anything.
320
00:16:57.141 --> 00:16:59.920
And, but then we began with the
321
00:17:02.092 --> 00:17:03.870
we decided the best thing to do was start
322
00:17:03.870 --> 00:17:06.620
with the reading of the minutes of the school board
323
00:17:07.790 --> 00:17:12.790
because we wanted to be sure that everything was the truth.
